delay at high resolutions

[dude281]

when i put games on high resolutions like 1280x1024 or anything like that, everything i do happens like a half a second late, and the higher the res. the longer the delay. whats the deal?

...its quite obviously that your system can not handle a high resolution. Is AA and AF on by any chance? It is also a 5600..if i may add...:cheers:

[dude281]

all that stuffs off. yeah i figured it was the videocard. thats cool im getting a aiw 9700 pro soon. i can live with low res until then

[dude281]

its wierd though cause ive experienced low end computers playing high end games and my computer isnt behaving like a normal situation like that. normally it'd be choppy and there would be lots of slow down and youd do something and like 20 seconds later it would do it, but with my system i wanna say its almost like internet lag where things happen like just half a second late...which with the game i play means a whole lot. i guess my videocard is like BARELY too slow?

Might be your monitor. Do you have an LCD? Also, it could be any number of software clashes (drivers ok?) or, maybe, it might be an IRQ mis-assignment. Check out all of those. : peace2: Mista K6

nah my monitor is a brand new 21 inch trinitron, and it did it on my old monitor too. im pretty sure all my drivers are up to date, and i dont know anything about irq. ive seen it talked about a lot but never figured out what its for. :confused:

[dude281]

oh nevermind i just updated my videocard drivers. why did nvidia change the name of its drivers to forceware? any reason?

[dude281]

oh, and the drivers didnt fix my prob, btw. does omega have any of these new nvidia drivers?

[AsianBatman]

Just stick with the nvidia drivers..because its your card..not the drivers.

Do you have the latest sis drivers? Hope you are not relying on the os to have correct versions. Sis chipsets are very fussy about this.

I'm guessing it might be your power supply if you know your video card and other system specs can handle the resolution of the games your playing. I call them video game hiccups that I think you might be experiencing. Does it happen all the time or just after your system been turned on for awhile and the PSU's had a little time to get warm and unstable? And are you running one of those power hungey video cards that need to be plugged into the PSU?

[AsianBatman]

Sponge i highly doubt its the psu. Because all he is running is a fx5600, so the cpu is not the problem.

Its possibly not the PSU, but I've had it happen with all the newer cards I've ever tinkered with, which include a FX5200, FX 5700Ultra, and a FX5900 and every moderen ATI card I own, he never did mention the PSU he is using, but I only took a guess at the problemo at hand and that is one of several things it could be. I'm aware the resolution he is using seems high for that card as you have already hinted at so that could very well be his problem but then again it depends on what he's tring to run (right?).

[AsianBatman]

The fx5200, fx5600, and and some ati cards do not use a power connector to get their power supply. The fx5900, r9500 and up uses power connectors. But dude's case, he is using a fx5600 which i don't think can handle high resolutions.
Your right, it depends on what he is trying to run, but his problem isn't the psu. I think he is better off getting the 9700 that he is talking about in his first post. :cheers:

Like I said before, the sis 1.17(1.15b or higher) vxd agp driver is required no matter what gfx card you have. Did this fix the problem? y/n
